The Sound on Rain

The gentle patter of rain, 
Whispers of water
falling from the sky, 
each droplet carrying a tale
shared with the soil,
lightly drumming on leaves, 
stirring the greenery awake.

Puddles mirror their surroundings, 
reflecting the world
in rippling images, 
while the fragrance of earth permeates the air, 
grounding our living presence.

Birds seek refuge
among tree branches, 
their melodies momentarily hushed,
replaced by the symphony
of raindrops
dancing on rooftops 
trickling down windowpanes.

The rain's rhythm, a soothing lullaby,
a prompt
of nature's steadfastness, 
its continual cycle
of giving and receiving, 
nurturing life.

In this suspended moment 
time seems to pause, 
around 
the world listens intently 
to the soothing melody 
of springtime rainfall, 
a tranquil conversation 
between sky and earth.
